Under The Shadow Of A Foreign Sun

Piah Mater - Under The Shadow Of A Foreign Sun (2024)

[Death Metal (Progressive)]

Brazil

Rating - 4 Stars

Although it is often unfair to constantly compare bands similar in style, sometimes the hero worship is so blatant it is hard not to. In the case of Brazilians Piah Mater, the band they are so easily compared to is the metal titan Opeth, and it feels like Piah Mater see it as their duty to pick up the progressive death metal crown that was dropped. Opener 'As Islands Sink' wastes no time diving into the distorted chaos, and launches the album nicely in the direction fans disgruntled with 'new' Opeth have longed for. As a two man band, they manage to weave incredibly intricate harmonic moments into the framework of the bursts of tight death/doom metal, and the hooks are the tempo and stylistic changes coming at unexpected moments. What becomes apparent on repeat listens (regardless of the similarities in style to classic Opeth) is that the band is often willing to take the progressive elements further than their heroes. As examples, the 10+ minute 'Fallow Garden' has a saxophone solo, and the epic closer 'Canicula' has a lengthy passage sung in Portuguese by a female voice before a violin weaves and winds around the guitar line. 'Macaw's Lament' is a short soulful solo guitar arrangement, whilst 'In Fringes' goes in the direction of layered clean vocal harmonies. Overall, the album twists and turns through a death metal / folk interlude template that does seem somewhat familiar (and possibly a little predicable for doing so), but with immense honesty and integrity Piah Mater proves to the metal community that once one band drops out of the race another with a sound so close can easily fill the void if the public are still wanting. It does beg the question though, where is the line between similarity and mimicry?

Nine Inch Nails - [With_Teeth] (2005)

[Rock (Industrial)]

United States

Rating - 3 Stars

Following my previous reviews, you will know that I stray from my music foundations and venture into other sounds that prick my ears up. NIN is certainly one of them. Taking a step back from this release, it's hard to believe these guys cut their chops in the late 80's and had their debut in 1989 with Pretty Hate Machine. Gave us some gems such as 'Head Like A Hole' and 'Down In It'. Arguably their pinnacle was the sophomore full-length release The Downward Spiral in 1994 which many suggest is an influential album in the evolution of music in the early 90s, which was shifting into the grunge era but providing different sounds on the side such as this, equally matching the grunge movement. Interestingly they only released 1 more album in the decade before we get to With Teeth. Reznor is a very smart lyricist and by this time had matured in his approach to his music (he'd just come out of rehab). The first track will likely put off many as it is very much a drum and bass sound with an aggressive vocal toward the end of the song. If that bores you, await the second track which is very much in the old-school phase, particularly the chorus. Classic NIN at this point. The remainder of the album is very much in that industrial/rock sound, which is very mature and controlled with Reznor's vocal perfectly placed in the music. Other song highlights include 'The Hand That Feeds', along with the title track 'With Teeth', a slow burner that builds up brilliantly and then finally 'Getting Smaller'. The difference from this being an OK release as opposed to a great one is the quality of the songs on the final third of the record, which most artists suffer from. Perhaps I need to listen more next time.

Peaceville Records

Peaceville Records

Peaceville Records is a British independent heavy metal record label. The label was founded by Paul 'Hammy' Halmshaw (of the bands Instigators and Civilised Society) in Dewsbury, England, in 1987, who was also a one-time drummer of Sore Throat. Originally a tape label releasing anarcho-punk, the releases moved towards metal through crust punk and similar forms of metal-influenced English hardcore punk. Halmshaw started running the label full-time in 1988, although the original tape label incarnation was founded in 1981 as a vehicle for releasing Instigators demo cassettes. The label is therefore known for the connection between doom metal and the 1980s English crust punk scene. However, the bands My Dying Bride, Darkthrone, Katatonia, Autopsy, Anathema, Paradise Lost, and Opeth - known as the 'Peaceville Stable' - have been the label's most recognizable acts since the 1990s. Peaceville also became known for its anti-major label stance and left wing political outlook. In November 2006, after 25 years at the helm, Halmshaw announced that he and co-manager Lisa Halmshaw would be leaving the label to concentrate on new projects, and that his former assistant, Paul Groundwell, would be taking over general management duties, following the sale of the label to back catalogue specialists Snapper Music, who had distributed Peaceville since 2001.

Kreator has achieved worldwide sales of over two million units for combined sales of all their albums, making them one of the best-selling German thrash metal bands of all time.

'Endless Pain (Remastered)' is a remastered version of the debut studio album by Kreator. It also includes a selection of tracks from the band's early demos when they were still known as Tormentor.

Kreator is a German thrash metal band from Essen, formed in 1982. Along with Destruction, Sodom and Tankard, they are credited as one of the "Big Four" of Teutonic thrash metal, responsible for developing and popularizing the German thrash metal scene as well as pioneering the then-burgeoning death metal and black metal genres during the mid-1980s. They have a large underground fanbase in the international thrash metal community, with their second studio album 'Pleasure To Kill' (1986) regarded as an influential album of the genre. Despite being an influential band, as well as one of the first European thrash metal acts to sign to a major label (signing to Epic Records in 1988), Kreator would not achieve mainstream popularity until later albums post 2010. Kreator has achieved worldwide sales of over two million units for combined sales of all their albums, making them one of the best-selling German thrash metal bands of all time.

Heavy Metal

'Russian Roulette' is the seventh studio album by Accept. It would be the last Accept album to feature Udo Dirkschneider as lead vocalist until the 1993 reunion album 'Objection Overruled'. The album returns Accept to the darker, heavier sound of releases prior to the more commercial-sounding predecessor 'Metal Heart (1985).

Accept are a German heavy metal band from Solingen, formed in 1976 by guitarist Wolf Hoffmann and former members Udo Dirkschneider (vocals) and Peter Baltes (bass). Their beginnings can be traced back to the late 1960s, when the band got its start under the name Band X. Accept's lineup has changed over the years, which has included different singers, guitarists, bassists and drummers. Hoffmann is the last remaining original member, and the only band member to appear on each album. Accept played an important role in the development of speed and thrash metal, and they were part of the German heavy metal scene, which emerged in the early to mid-1980s.
